Ceramic Tile…Day 22

Matt Sletten started in earnest on what I think will be one of the most unique features of the “L” Shaped House…The Mudroom Wash-Down…Early in the design process we expressed to Mike Kloti that we wanted a “real” mudroom that included (among others things) a water sprayer and drain.  The photo below shows this area after Matt dry packed the Tile Crete cement underlayment in the wash area today. The floor will be pitched to the drain in the center and a  4” curb installed along the front edge (just like the shower bases).

This area of the mudroom will include the following elements…

  • Dog kennels will sit on the 30” wide platform at the end wall under a countertop (not yet installed) beneath the upper cabinet cubbies.
  • A dog door will be installed in the roughed-in cavity just to the right of the platform.
  • A service sink faucet will attach to the hot & cold water feeds visible below the window.
  • The whole area will be covered with ceramic tile including a 3’ backsplash on the walls.
  • A commercial floor grate in the recessed base will provide a flush surface across the floor.
